Are you sure that those are new installed antennas in Italy or antennas from analog days? I disagree with your assessment that 8-VSB receivers were adequate 4.5 years ago. I don't think they are anywhere near adequate today nor do I expect them to be adequate at the transition. Bob Miller On 6/19/07, Albert Manfredi <bert22306@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:

Although over there, they tend to have the appropriate diplexers when multiple antennas are required, rather than a switch or rotor. I can show you on the DGTVi site how, in most locations, different DTT multiplexes are at different azimuths, in Italy. As long as signal strength is low, you'll see more than one antenna required to pick them all up. And almost always, you'll note that the VHF antenna is a separate antenna, aimed in a different direction, from the one (or more) UHF antenna(s). John, early ATSC receivers were bad. I know. It's been 4+ years since those days, and still broadcasters aren't promoting as I would expect them to. Instead of saying "tomorrow at 9:00 PM on Frontline," you say that, and then you add what else is showing at 9:00 PM or other times, on your multiplex. So all analog OTA viewers know what they are missing. Surely, that would attract viewers to DTT, especially since (I'm told) a relatively high percentage of PBS viewers do use OTA TV.
